Hollywood Supported – But by supporting CAST’s good work

But by supporting CAST’s good work, supporting festivals for young directors and using our television platform to showcase the best talent, ShortsTV can make a tangible contribution to creating a more inclusive Hollywood ShortsTV has a long history of focusing on women’s, colorful and other short films that are often difficult to present in traditional Hollywood cinemas. Lewis and Gaddis also received a $7,500 donation for an expanded version of their documentary “Justus: Living with a Criminal Past”. “The documentary is shown on ShortsTV in an annual competition organized by NAACP. This summer, ShortsTV and NAACP sponsored the “Champions of Justice”. We partnered with NAACP and the Latin American Heritage Foundation to honor and encourage young filmmakers from black and Spanish communities by organizing two short film competitions. Now, on ShortsTV, you will notice that we have focused on the Latin American National Heritage month that began this week. Unlike Hollywood, short films are a place where minorities, women and other underrepresented groups in the creative community can tell their stories. At ShortsTV, we were enthusiastic about the growth of creativity and new and interesting stories. To paraphrase the great Frederick Douglas, “Progress is never easy,” says Johnson, co-founder of CAST, “you have to fight, fight and move away from the status quo ante.
